Flower pots - I needed to make a cot quilt very quickly for Holly, my soon to be born great-niece. This pattern in the Mc Calls magazine looked easy and quick to make. It was made in a week with machine quilting and with machine blanket stitch to secure the flowers.

Son's of anarchy - Made at mystery quilt retreat. Dustin bought the fabric I used in the boarder and I went to JoAnn's and choose the rest...Gave to him for Christmas 2009.

Cat show - My son-in-law's mother did the red work many years ago. I had to make up two blocks to complete it. The back of the quilt is finished in a complementing red plaid. The blocks are worked on Muslim.

My Chemo Quilt - I started to make this quilt in April 2012 when I started chemo treatments. It was a struggle but I finished it. I realized how much work quilts are when many days I was unable to work on it. I'm happy it is finished but my chemo treatments are not. It felt wonderful wrapping up in it last night. I am happy with my accomplishment!

The Learning Quilt - Part of my series of primarily one color quilts, the central medallion of The Learning Quilt was based on a friend's pewter necklace and the quilt grew from there. I learned more about: constructing a quilt with appliqué; silk, velveteen, and metallic coated fabrics; how to use hot fix crystals; the button stitch on my machine; and a little bit about how different threads look on different fabrics.

Geisha Garden - Panel and fabric purchased in November 2012 for Geisha Garden in the Benartex Antique/Teal color collection. Finished December 2012 for Christmas present to mother-in-law who loves anything Geisha or Asian art. She has it hanging in her bedroom as wall art. Had fun embellishing it with gold thread on the panel and framing the panel in pieced geometric squares.

Rune's New York Beauty - This quilt was made for my nephew when he turned 18. He had used his baby quilt (fairly large one) in all these years, so I found it was time to make him a more grown up quilt

vivaldi a quilt in four seasons - i was listening to Vivaldi...when i was looking at our guilds workshop page and i just kept being drawn into this leaf shape during class - i began work on the Autumn leaf...and my brain went nuts and i decided to expand it to the 4 seasons so when i finished i had pieces of all my batiks all over the house...what a mess to resort and clean up the machine stitching(about 1/8" apart) was done while listening to Vivaldi...think about the fast string movement and i used many shades of variegated thread lots of fun

Work In Progress b - The Pink Panda Used Ricky Tims' Stable stuff, xeroxed pattern, stitched with no thread around the design on the stable stuff, added batting and pinned to back of fabric. Used water soluble thread to sew the design, turned over and used rayon thread to free hand motion design on front and color in. Technique I learned from Ricky Tims video.

Black Holes and Nebulas - This quilt was inspired by the images of the universe as seen through Hubble Telescope, specifically images of nebulas.
